Another one you reminded me of: the library charging you a reshelving fee for a book that was just barely late at the end of the semester. It does not take $10 to go put a book back in the stacks. If you're thinking in terms of hourly wages, that's like two hours of student work right there.

2 hours of student work

Poor students

People who leave their cars running when it's not even cold out.

Maybe they just like to pollute?

When people fail to signal to change lanes on the interstate.

Did someone cut you off?

Sal Atticum · « **Reply #46 on:** March 02, 2008, 07:14:13 PM »

No, for some reason it just bugs me that people meander from lane to lane without signaling.

Ah yeah it is kinda annoying. I get annoyed by those people that drive below the speed limit in the left lane.

It sounds really mean, but coffee shop girls who chatter on and on and on and and on . . .

. . . are almost annoying as the guys who think they are hot and keep asking questions just so they can stare

People who do crosswords while they drive through town in the morning.

People who have loud, obnoxious cell phone ring tones...and let everyone within 500 feet of them hear it.

Resurrecting this topic because I like it . . .

When people choose to be BOTH pedestrians and cyclists. Using the sidewalk to cross the street, then riding down the street. Pushing the button for the pedestrian signal and then riding across the sidewalk because they don't want to wait. This confuses drivers and amounts to one less rider on the road, which makes life suck more for the rest of us.

Hey now, nothing wrong with that... better than the same ringtone everyone has so that 20 people look at their phone to see if its them.

I have one of those anoying ringtones... but its incubus so its badass.

what drives me nuts is people that will sit and wait for a close spot in the parking lot when you're not even in you're car yet... just getting to it to unlock it... Then i proceed to sit in it until they leave, and as soon as they leave then I back out.

Rule of thumb, if the revers lights aren't on, don't stop and wait... Lazy biotches...

Haha, I have done that in a parking lot before.

Pet peeve: people that dont carry their weight the majority of time.

You guys must deal with the same people!

It peeves me a little bit when I'm somewhere that's playing background music (coffeeshop, etc.), and someone sits there with their laptop blaring something totally different. It's not a bad thing if you want to listen to your own thing, but get a pair of headphones or something. It's jarring to listen to two things at once and maybe try to get something done.

Admiral Ackbar · « **Reply #57 on:** July 28, 2008, 02:13:18 PM »

ooooo a new one: when drivers don't stop for people who are actually in the middle of a crosswalk! I just saw some woman get nearly mowed down by a car, and she was already in the middle of the road (and this street isn't that busy anyway)!

I deal with a lot of people...

People that cant drive... you know what I mean

Parents who let their children run loose in the museum and drag their hands on the glass till it squeals.. then don't watch them in the gift shop as they touch everything!!!!
